Our ATM Network

We value our network

Cardtronics has a global network of cash machines. Our UK estate has more than 16,000 machines and runs on the LINK ATM network which is the busiest ATM transaction switch in the world. Around 70,000 cash machines are connected to the LINK network - effectively every cash machine in the UK. At peak, the LINK switch processes almost 1 million transactions per hour.

The LINK network is a fundamental part of the UK's payments infrastructure and cash machines are by far the most popular channel for cash withdrawal in the UK, used by millions of consumers every week.

The LINK network supports access to cash. It sets the rules for cash machine operators who want their cash machines to be part of the UK ATM network or card issuers who want their cardholders to be able to use the UK ATM network.
